Assistant Professor, Physics
Andrew is committed to the idea that active learning environments and innovative teaching pedagogy are fundamental to effective science education. In addition to his teaching efforts, he is currently constructing a research lab that will involve undergraduate students in summer and senior-capstone research projects. He is interested in several fields of physics including: atom cooling and trapping, pattern-forming nonlinear optics, slow- and fast-light, and the application of optical systems to quantum and classical information science.
